How is my best friend Arthur has he helped you baldur any gates

He’s been good! My washing machine broke last week and I hauled it out the other day in preparation for the new one and he’s been loving his new Top Secret Hiding Spot.

We are taking a little bit of a Baldur’s Gate break right now just because I was getting burnt out. We’re slowly making our way through Mass Effect Andromeda for the second time. I’m very excited to get back to BG3 tho.

I left off right at the start of Act 2. I’m playing a Githyanki monk named Ez’rai and spent way too much time coming up with a backstory for them. I’m going to be romancing Wyll this time. I think Ez’rai growing up in such a harsh culture that didn’t have room for soft romance will go together in such a fun and cute way with Wyll. A noble’s son who is just so sweet and romantic and good.

#been too busy to play much vidya games the past week or two #I spent SO much time on DND wiki #and I feel like it’s plausible with the already set lore. which obviously doesn’t really matter bc it’s just for fun #but it’s important to me that it feels plausible lol #their crèche went rogue. anti Vlaakith teachings as well as teaching that the githzerai and githyanki should reunite #to have a better chance of defeating the mindflayers #for obvious reasons Vlaakith was NOT a fan of this #Vlaakith sent people to destroy the crèche and Ez’rai was one of the only ones who survived #all the survivors eventually either died or ended up split up somehow #makes for an extra interesting dynamic with Lae’zel and also Orpheus (even tho I have to imagine it all in my head lol) #anyways BG3 was my first introduction to DND lore so if you’re a seasoned pro and this seems so far fetched to you I’m sorry #I’m just having fun with my blorbos #my post #Arthur #ask

Release is coming! Less than a week now! *scales walls*

Meanwhile Heinrix is doing some training, knowing that he is the one who has to carry my whole party on his shoulders for the entirety of the game xD

Inspired by the psyker RT outfit in beta-version and also some most amusing discussions in rubeta channel

i saw someone joke around that ofmd is like a dnd campaign where stede is the level 1 fighter who put all his points into charisma and keeps rolling nat20s on his death saves, and ed is the level 10 fighter/rogue who's been playing his character as stereotypically badass and edgy forever but has gotten bored and wants to branch out his roleplay, and i can't stop thinking about this

#izzy would be the rogue who initially just wanted to keep playing the edgelord #but now sees how much fun ed's having he wants to join in on the fun #jim is just doing their backstory side quests #buttons is obviously a warlock with karl/olivia as his patrons #lucius is a bard and he's leaning into ALL THE STEREOTYPES #dnd #d&d #dungeons and dragons #dungeons & dragons #ofmd #our flag means death #stede bonnet #ed teach #edward teach #blackbeard #izzy hands #jim #jim ofmd #ofmd jim #ofmd buttons #nathaniel buttons

Just because it's been boiling my brain, the fandom agrees Ratau is the reason there's so many traps and ambushes in cult of the lamb, right? Because he was a stealth main who vanishes into underground hiding spots/tunnels, taking down units one by one, and sneaking into temples, right?

Because that giant screaming bell thing seems like it'd be a pain for rogues: since it only goes off when enemies are alerted/an enemy dies, then follows the player around till all enemies in that area are defeated. Total stealth killer. They made it especially for him.

Thus the best way to defeat Ratau was to have traps, stakeouts, and ambushes. Instead of general patrols, checkpoints, and unit check-ins since a rogue would just sneak past those. Because unless those doors have a "fixed*" entry point, it's pretty weird to have your whole place covered in traps just in case a crown bearer comes through.

#cult of the lamb #add it to the list #cotl ratau #and kallamar hated him the most obviously. his whole place is set up with landmines and stuff that blows up upon contact #it would be so funny to make a prequel sorta dlc bc ultimately your only goal is to piss off the bishops #its not to win but just to be a pest. best rogue goal tbh #they shot themselves in the foot bc armoured enemy hordes would be much harder for the lamb to deal with

not to express controversial (?) opinions on main but life of the party has gotta be the most OOC way I've ever seen Cassian Andor described before

#that man does not want to party 💀 #he's grumpy all the way he doesn't even wanna be here #rogue one era cassian quite obviously isn't fun at parties but i would strongly argue even andor era cassian isn't #anyways #shut up sissi #fandom discourse #*i meant all the time he's grumpy all the time

okay my new conspiracy theory for "what the fuck is up with the rat grinders" is that they are specifically using the devil's nectar to forget what they actually did at the end of last year that led to Lucy's death (I think that part was heavily implied) and to make themselves think that they have just been out killing rats and spiders and twig-gremlins.

why did they drop the "high-5 heroes" moniker and embrace "the rat grinders"? what if they were actually up to something much bigger out there the whole time, but they just want everyone (and also themselves) to think that they were just xp-farming in the woods?

#this is like...half of a theory and I'm still trying to figure out the rest of it #obviously the devil's nectar is important and at least some of them are using it to gaslight themselves #how is this related to the spy's tongue curse? why does kipperlilly have so much money? how is this related to kalina & Cassandra & Lydia? #what is going on with the rogue teacher?? #dimension 20 #fantasy high #fhjy

every single time i listen to this song all i can see in my brain are stick men.

its a fuckin shame that green as the musician of the group would fit perfectly as the bard here but they would never ever fucking say that

#ray's tag #AvA #AvA red #AvA tsc #AvA blue #keys' art #art #undescribed #heres the group: yellow as the DM obviously. TSC as the barbarian. blue as the rogue. red is the bard obviously #yellow invited them all to play and tsc was like ooh sounds fun i'll give it a try! theyre chilling. blue was like yeah sure whatever and i #a liiiiitle doubtful but trusts yellow enough to run with it and red was like FUCK YEAH I LOVE ACTIVITIES and was the most enthusiastic #out of everyone. and once they realized that in dnd you can basically do things with no actual irl consequences they became unstoppable

can somebody who consumes dc content outside of batfam tell me if arkham is indeed the only prison in the dcu that never actually contains its rogues?

#obviously lex luthor for example is kinda his own thing but idk much more #its just crazy to me that batman would have all these contigency plans for his own colleagues but cant think of a proper way to get these #rogues who can supposedly get better any proper treatment or isolation from civilians whether he does it as batman or bruce #dc #batman

never gonna forgive rogue one for not having the "good" "good" scene in it

what is the context? why are they lit so dreamily in a sunset? what are they talking about? why are they chilling alone in the cockpit? why can't I see the deleted scenes?

#it haunts me #fucking hell i know its probably like 'are you with me' 'all the way' in that its just... obviously about scarif BUT i would also like to #see that scene too lucasfilm #i would like every moment shot for this film #please i want them ALL #sans any bor gullet eurgh #you bitches can keep her tyvm #rogue one #rebelcaptain

fuck it,

LIST OF INCENSES I THINK AC 1 - AC UNITY CHARACTERS WOULD LIKE

credentials: (1) incense is a big thing in my country both for daily and religious uses; (2) i have a shit ton of incenses bc i use them regularly

ALTAÏR IBN LA'AHAD ��� his most familiar scent is frankincense bcs either umar or rashid lit up a lot of frankincense (haha old man incense). BUT his favorite scent is jasmine because it's sweet and calming it's like a soothing balm to his running thoughts and worries. also the scent of jasmine here has supernatural connotations, so i think it's fitting for altaïr as the master assassin herald of death etc etc

MALIK AL SAYF — oud. definitely oud. very charismatic and heavy. definitely suits him bcs as soon u enter his space u will think he's someone not to be trifled with. it also has a family/brotherly connotation to it which suits malik. if u want combination; oud + sandalwood

KADAR AL SAYF — champaca. it's sweet and bright. reminds u of a singing bird maybe? if u catch a whiff of it in the wind it feels like napping in a hazy afternoon.

MARIA THORPE — jasmine with tuberose. almost woody? floral. probably reminds you of moonlit night with silk curtains blowing in the wind

EZIO AUDITORE DA FIRENZE — sandalwood. a classic. with frankincense and myrhh. this scent reminds me of church (our churches usually light these scented incenses). it's heady and heavy. if you smell it too much it can overwhelm you.

LEONARDO DA VINCI — citrus and agarwood. very playful and has creative vibes to it. it also smells very unique and reminds me of a warm person

CONNOR KENWAY — majegau. this one is very specific. majegau is a type of tree sacred to people in bali region (i'm from java so i dont know much). but the scent is very mountainous. it reminds me slightly of sandalwood but much lighter, and gives off a more foresty vibes. it has a very respectful but down-to-earth air to it that suits connor's person

AVELINE DE GRANPRE — citrus and vanilla. i'll be honest i never had this one, but i'm trusting what people said. it's apparently very unique and refreshing scent when burnt. kind of woody surprisingly with just a hint of sweetness to it. i also think aveline would like clove incense. it's sweet and has something underneath that feels like it's ready to strike

ADÉWALÉ — also an oud enjoyer methinks. maaybe oud + frankincense. i think smelling the incense will help settle down his thoughts and pain, bcs it's a very meditative and heady scent. charismatic vibes

EDWARD KENWAY — tobacco, clove, and cinnamon. it's smoky and heady. kind of pirate vibes. it's a very overwhelming scent to some people bcs of the tobacco

HAYTHAM KENWAY — i feel like he has a very old man taste so i'm chucking lotus OR frankincense. i think he'd like both bcs they're the most "classic" incense scents. definitely charismatic tbh

SHAY CORMAC — tobacco. smoky. just a classic "smokes and mirrors". it's kinda sad? it's a very lonely scent i think

ARNO VICTOR DORIAN — vanilla with sandalwood. it's heady and sweet with woody undertone to it. it has a european vibes to it that i personally dont like to light (vanilla doesnt smell good in humid weather to me), but definitely suits arno. it's sensitive yet strong, kind of tragic

ÉLISE DE LA SERRE — rose. definitely rose. cloying, floral, and sweet. has mixed receptions; it's a classic scent but i personally dont like it. i think it suits élise for her complicated nature. flitting and impossible to mistake

fin.

#this is obviously not all ac characters my brain cant do that #also im definitely biased with the scents with what i like #honourable scent mention: frangipani #i know a lot of people who like it. i really personally dont like frangipani incense. nor rose incense #i think theyre too sweet (for me) #late night ramblings bcs the nightmares are getting to me <3 my bad #notepad #asscreed #assassins creed #assassins creed 1 #assassin's creed #assassins creed 2 #assassins creed 3 #assassins creed liberation #assassins creed black flag #assassins creed rogue #altair ibn la'ahad #altaïr ibn la'ahad #malik al sayf #kadar al sayf #maria thorpe #ezio auditore #ezio auditore da firenze #aveline de grandpre #connor kenway #ratonhnhaké:ton #haytham kenway #edward kenway #shay cormac #arno victor dorian

I mentioned this in AO3 comments but got reminded of it so blogpost here. It's funny people think Yrliet's Act 2 scene where she sees a shard of her destroyed home in your room and freaks out is 'annoying' or 'doesn't make sense' because she doesn't allow you to explain yourself

Meanwhile during the whole scene I had a vivid flashback to when I was dating this cute British-Japanese guy and the first time he invited me to his apartment I noticed a framed picture of his WW2 soldier great-grandfather on the wall, recognised the guy his great-grandpa was standing at ceremony with to be Prince Asaka, realised there was a good chance his grandpa was part of the Nanjing Massacre that my great-grandmother only survived by hiding underneath her father's corpse, and promptly left his apartment without explanation then never talked to him again

#he noticed me staring at it and explained it was his great-grandfather #and i was like “ok what about the guy next to him” #and he was like “oh I don't know who that is haha. should I?” #he was a nice person but like. #bro. #it's his parents fault for not letting him know but there was a non-zero chance his parents were uyoku dantai so #and obviously i knew HE didn't do anything and wasn't even a sperm in the ballsack during WW2 but #it was basically impossible for me to overlook it once i realised #can't believe prince asaka's waluigi-ass moustache led to this poor guy not getting pussy in the 21st century #rogue trader spoilers #cw: war crimes #anyway what was my point. oh yeah. #yrliet was a real OG for not literally shooting us right then and there #antelposting

not to bring this up AGAIN but i cant believe they did that to ilsa

#watching fallout and im trying to pretend mi7 doesnt exist but 😬😬😬😬 #literally how do you ruin a character that badly #shes my fav mi character and one of my favourite female characters in general cause shes written so well #and then that happened 🙄 #obviously mcq doesn’t deserve the hate he got for it but also i hope he knows what he did was shitty #it doesnt make sense story wise #its a horrible ending for her character #and its even worse if she comes back in the next movie thats awful writing no matter what #AND he just replaced her with some generic female character who had to be saved countless times throughout the movie 😐 #not to mention the way he and tom talked about ilsa and how much work they put into her character in rogue nation and fallout #I DONT GET IT WHY THROW THAT ALL AWAY #im so upset #mi #ilsa faust
